<title>Barcelona: Sometimes, Excessive Complaining Can Be a Good Thing</title>

<description><![CDATA[<p> <img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/admin/lemeridbarcelona.jpg" class="imgborder"><p>Starwood Hotels &amp; Resorts <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Le+Meridien+Barcelona/ian/129129"><b>Le M&#233;ridien Barcelona</b></a> is one of the Spanish city's more popular hotels, mostly because of its location off the hotspot entertainment boulevard of La Rambla. (Well, perhaps at least until the W Barcelona debuts later this year.)<p> But the hotel has not been without its problems. When Starwood, which bought the Le M&#233;ridien brand in 2005, began assimilating its Starwood Preferred Guest loyalty program to the hotel chain, members complained that their status didn't seem to hold much weight in garnering upgrades at the hotel, noting that staff frequently said suites were not available, despite such rooms capable of being booked online. <p>]]>         </description>

However, funny thing happened when we started investigating these programs -- we found some of them are downright useful if you know how to cut through the red tape. &#x3C;a href=&#x22;http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/loyalty%20program%20guide&#x22;&#x3E;This series&#x3C;/a&#x3E; is meant as a jumping off point to full fledged discussions on each loyalty program we feature. &#x3C;b&#x3E;&#x3C;a href=&#x22;http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2007/11/3/14423/4464/hotels/HotelChatter_s_Guide_to_Loyalty_Programs_Wyndham_By_Request#postform&#x22;&#x3E;So comment, contribute, question, and cajole here.&#x3C;/a&#x3E;&#x3C;/b&#x3E;&#x3C;/i&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;The name of &#x3C;a href=&#x22;http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/wyndham%20hotels&#x22;&#x3E;&#x3C;b&#x3E;Wyndham Hotels&#x3C;/b&#x3E;&#x3C;/a&#x3E; loyalty program bothers us--Wyndham By Request.
